Talk to analysts, IT staff or even different vendors and you’ll find a hundred different ways to define Digital Transformation. Cisco defines Digital Transformation as the application of technology to build new business models, processes, software and systems that results in more profitable revenue, greater competitive advantage, and higher efficiency. Businesses achieve this by evolving business processes and models, improving workforce efficiency and innovation, and personalizing customer experiences.

Why is Digital Transformation Important?

Now that we’ve established what Digital Transformation is, let’s look at its impact on business. Digital Transformation is disrupting businesses of all types and sizes and in every industry around the world and it will displace nearly 40% incumbents by industry over the next five years. It is becoming the norm, not the exception, and it’s the number one concern for executives. However, only a few companies and countries are truly prepared and have a digital business platform in place that is results driven and enabled by technology.
